Joseph Trublood - Healing
« on: January 14, 2018, 10:41:07 PM »
I have a question about Joseph Trublood's Healing Light ranged attack.



If I put him in a zone that has a Steep Hill conjuration attached to it (Ranged+1), and if he has a Hawkeye enchantment attached to him (Ranged+1), would that mean that I can roll 4 dice to heal a target living creature the amount rolled?
It'd be a lot cooler if you did...

I would say yes. Healing Light is still a Ranged Attack, even if the damage it does is Healing, and so does take advantage of Ranged +X modifiers.

It contrasts with the healing attack option of the Resplendent Bow, which explicitly states that its healing attack is always only two dice strong, regardless of any Ranged +X modifiers the Bow’s damaging attack option may have.

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't.

I see the MW promo marking in the picture, but I am wondering whether he has been released yet in non-promo form.

I want to say yes and that he was in forged in fire maybe.

I'm not sure: is it an attack?
the bar isn't grey, but "gold"... it could be a power "written as an attack" but which wouldn't get the attack bonus...

I echo exid here. I would say no as it is an ability and not an attack. In the same vien you couldn't place hawkeye on an Asyran Cleric to get better healing.

In fact the asyran cleric also has a gold bar. Likely indicating that it's not an attack at all. Since ranged plus only modifies attacks it wouldn't stack. Or provide any benefit at all really.

Yes, you are right. It is a special ability, not an Attack. So no, I reverse my earlier assertion. No Ranged +X for Joseph’s healing power.

Core rules, p.11, second column.

Just here to confirm that Exid is correct. It is a special ability, not an attack, and does NOT benefit from the Ranged +X trait.

Thank you all for clarifying.
